Ye Chen’s words left the entire team speechless.

At this moment, Wang Zuoshou, his best friend, asked, “Brother Ye, would you prefer a sliding lid or a flip lid?”

Ye Chen was flustered.

“A touch screen seems more savvy,” Bei Li, who had been silently observing, piped up.

Noticing that all eyes were on her, Bei Li was embarrassed as she raised her wand and took a few steps backward.

“What should we do? There are treasures here but we cannot reach them. That’s awful,” Ye Chen looked at his sister, Ye Xue’er.

“It seems like we have to give up for now. Mark the location. When we grow stronger, we will come back to open the coffins,” Ye Xue’er said weakly.

Although they gave up on opening the coffins, the team continued to search the burial chamber, not wanting to overlook any treasure.

Eventually, they found three sealed earthen jars.

After multiple attempts to break the jars open, the team realized that the stone jars were made of identical materials as the coffins. There was no way they could crack them open.

“Actually, there may not be any treasure in the jars. We have many similar jars buried under the ground of our village. If you are lucky, you might find some good old wine brewed by the ancestors,” a mediocre-looking berserker among the team commented.

“And if you are unlucky?” the team gazed at him curiously.

“If you are unlucky, you might unearth one of your ancestors.”

His answer baffled the others.

Upon listening to the blunt berserker’s theory, the team’s perception of the three jars had changed. They were disgusted at the thought of holding cremated ashes in their hands and decided to leave the jars on the ground.

Seeing their reactions, Bei Li took a few steps forward and carried the three jars in her arms, “I’ll bring them with me if you don’t want it!”

The members found it hilarious when they saw the petite Bei Li carrying the three big jars. Yet, they shook their heads.

Bei Li put on a smile. With the jars in her arms, she disappeared into the Artifact Channel.

None of them thought this was strange.

Nonetheless, every player had their personal channels. Unbeknownst to them, the personal channels were essentially part of the battle artifacts channel which had been segregated into portions for each player.

After they scanned the burial chamber once again and made sure that they did not miss anything, the team followed Ye Xue’er out of the chamber. In the meantime, they marked the location down, intending to return when they grew strong enough.

The moment they left the cave, the team was swamped by the strong wind and extreme heat.

They lifted their gaze to see a huge fire dragon charging at them. Underneath the fire dragon, some ten players were frantically trying to escape while their leader held a fiery red egg in his hand.

“Brothers, help, help!” noticing Ye Xue’er and her team, the leader seemed immensely relieved as he bolted toward them.

“Damn, brother. Don’t come near me!”

Seeing this, Ye Chen pointed at the other players, who were running toward them, with his greatsword before he yelled hysterically.

“Brother, save us!”

“Don’t come near us!”

The players on both sides continued to shout at each other.

“The dragon is this level’s boss. I’ll let you be the first to slay it. Help!” the leading player cried.

“Nonsense. Why don’t you kill it first? If you come one step closer to us, I will kill you,” Ye Chen howled.

Looking at the dragon which hurtled toward them, Ye Xue’er and her group screamed in fright, hoping that the egg thieves would not drag them into their misery.

“Quick! Get into the cave!”

As the fire dragon advanced toward them, Ye Xue’er quickly led her team into the cave.

In less than five seconds, the earth began to quake before they were showered by crushed stones.

“Roar!” the fire dragon’s howl resonated across the atmosphere.

The cave shook once again and more stones rained down.

As the team scrambled to find their footings, they found that they were joined by three other players.

They stared at the player who was carrying the dragon egg. Everyone in the room went silent for a few seconds before Ye Chen slowly raised his greatsword.

Despite everything that was happening, Ye Xue’er was moved when she suddenly heard the innocent cry of the baby dragon from the egg.

She was adept at manslaughter and pillaging. Hence, she did not try to stop Ye Chen.

“Brother, let’s talk about this. Please don’t hurt us!” the leading berserker put on an awkward grin as he held the dragon egg closer.

“Surrender the egg!” Ye Xue’er drew her dagger and ordered angrily.

The berserker was especially distressed at this instant. His team thought that they would be safe if they ran away after they stole the dragon egg, not knowing that it was impossible for them to bring the egg into their personal channel. After the fire dragon noticed that its dragon egg was missing, it traced the egg with the help of its smell.

As a result, they were down to three players. They knew that they were no match for Ye Xue’er’s team if they were to fight.

Looking at Ye Xue’er’s team who were ready to fight, the corner of the berserker’s mouth twitched as he prepared to distract and argue with his opponent verbally. Before he could do that, he lost his

balance as the cave began to shake again.

This time, the quake was even worse than before. Following the dragon’s shriek, they felt as though the cave was going to blow up.

What fell on them was no longer crushed stones but huge rocks.

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

The players were buried by the rocks one after another while the quake intensified. Apparently, they had driven the fire dragon up the wall.

At this point, Ye Xue’er leapt forward and mercilessly kicked the berserker who was holding the dragon egg. Then, she snatched the dragon egg in his hand.

The berserker was completely stunned. Their team had sacrificed greatly for this dragon egg. Furthermore, the value of the dragon egg was certainly priceless. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

However, when he intended to retrieve the egg, a huge rock from above fell right on top of him.

Getting ahold of the dragon egg, Ye Xue’er immediately attempted to hide it in her personal channel. To her surprise, she was not allowed to do that. Instead, the channel responded with a message.

“Living things are prohibited in personal channels.”

At this crucial moment, a pure and innocent moan came from the dragon egg as fiery red flare began to run around the egg.

“Crack!”

A crack appeared on the egg shell before it continued to lengthen.

“Boom!” the egg broke and a cute little fire dragon flew out of the egg.

“Howl…” the baby fire dragon immediately raised its head and let out a gleeful roar.

However, Ye Xue’er nipped the little fire dragon by its neck and held it before her.

Relentless, Ye Xue’er made another attempt to bring the baby fire dragon into her personal channel.

Something unexpected happened. The little fire dragon transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into her body.

As the announcement was released, a deafening roar echoed and flattened the cave. At this moment, Ye Xue’er was also drowned by the stones.
